You really want a 2 hole hitter with a .306 OBP?

Thank god your not GM.

Uribe's just as good as several of the SS's out there, and I really feel he's going to have a solid season knowing he's got the SS spot to himself.

He had 1 Good year...Lets not put him on the 1st ballot just yet, if we would have inked OC, Uribe plays 2nd..

 

Then sending Harris, and some top prospects to Oak for Hudson..

 

but your right, I would rather have Clement at 8 mil

 

Considering, Marky and Garcia don't make that much, if we are going to pay more than those two then they better be a better pitcher...Which clement is not

Thank god your not GM.

Yep we would win then.

He had 1 Good year...

I know. Why would anyone justify giving Cabrera $8M after that?

Um No. Also Uribe> Cabrera and that's before you even take the money situation into the equation.

Uribe is much better defender at SS than Cabrera is.

 

Better arm, more range.

 

No buts about it, I know who I'd rather have at SS...

I think you meant one BAD year from OC..actually one bad 1/2

How Many Gold Gloves does Uribe have??????

 

ANd we wonder why we fail to win in the easiest DIV in baseball??? :rolly

Gold Gloves are more a product of hype then anything else. You realize Derek Jeter won the gold glove in the al this year, right???

What???

Gold Gloves are popularity contests. When a player can play primarily DH and still win a GG, that tells me all I need to know about the award. It is much like the all-star team in that regard.

I win.

Still waiting...

Last time I checked where you have 2 years with ERAs sub 3.7, average 200 K's in those years, that is considered good.

wait so him being in Montreal and winning was a popularity contest.. other than people like us, the AVG fan never heard of Orlando Cabera till the Nomar trade.. so there goes that BS theory out the window

last time I check his career ERA is only .5 less than Jon Garland... Yeah thats someone I want to pay more than my top 2 guys for.

Care to explain the legitimacy of an award that gives a Gold Glove to a guy who plays 28 game at first base? Or do you have more BS based on faulty pretenses to spout?

I leave that too you guys here...

 

Uribe Feilding% .972

Caberea .977

 

ANd OC been playing longer..

You still haven't justified giving Cabrera eight million a year, and you never will.

 

He's had one good season. He sucks. He'd be an awful two hitter, and I'm glad that this organization (apparently) made no effort to sign him -- one of a few correct decisions this winter, IMHO.

and still waiting on Uribe?

Do you watch baseball?? The point of what Cwsguy said was that gold gloves are complete bs. Juan is 25 and is already a better defender then Cabrera and is a better hitter too. OC is never going to be a number 2 hitter, I'm pretty sure he won't hit 2nd on the angels this year, Cabrera is an overrated and now WAY overpaid player.

I leave that too you guys here...

That's what I figured... :rolly
